Since there seems to be one of these types of questions pretty regularly I figured it might be nice to (hopefully) have a sticky with some first timers suggestions. So, if you have a suggestion or tip for anyone who is considering or going to be training for the first time, or looking for a good...

Over the years, there has been a LOT of post asking the very question...."am I too old to be a fighter (or start training)?"
First off, when you ask this question, you're going to have people throw out the name Randy Couture. Who, unless you're completely new to the sport of MMA is KNOWN to be...

I thought we should get a thread started that would be geared towards anyone from the beginner to the advanced MMA enthusiast concerning all forms of conditioning and training. Also a basic FAQ should be included concerning basic questions concerning conditioning. If you want to form one go for...

I wanted to take a minute to clear something up that I have no doubt some of you will complain about.
In the past, because TRT has been such a hot news topic in MMA, I've let things slid as long as people didn't discuss specifics of use.
Honestly, I was out of line with this and pretty much...

I've been known to critique many videos posted here of athletes training. I've also been called out here and on other web forums. I figured I would make a thread with videos demonstrating proper technique for various exercises that can be used for conditioning in MMA. Here is a real quick and...

Jesus Christ every time I listen to this guy talk I cringe so hard
I almost have to turn it off. Constantly talking about himself in third person and just has the worst insults ever. Dude makes Colby Covington sound like a genius.

Something seemed off...roach didnt really talk to manny the entire match, but it looked like manny didnt want any coaching from him. In the post fight presser Manny credited his other coach instead of freddy multiple times...anyone know whats up? Freddy seems like a good dude

If you get good at striking+blocking, and you can wrestle people on the ground with the best martial art for that, are you set for MMA?
I'm planning on learning boxing/kickboxing by myself and then take BJJ classes.

I joined this UFC gym. I wear hand wraps and boxing gloves. However, whenever I hit the heavy bag hard, whether I'm doing straight punches or hooks, my wrists would hurt. The next day, I can't workout again. I have to take a few days off until the soreness in my wrists goes away. Is this normal or...

Since the last thread on Muay Thai there expressed a sentiment that Muay Thai fights are boring. This isn't entirely unfair, considering the nature of the sport's scoring system, and its tradition on its first 2 rounds being "feeler" rounds where the fighters get a read on each other's style - this...

Who's Jon Jones supposed to fight now?
Corey Anderson? LMAO
Anthony Smith? LMAAOOOO
Light Heavyweight is arguably in the worst state its ever been in. The only fighter still in the division who was worth his time was Gus, and he just demolished him.
Any future situation regarding...

This means one of two things:
1. The UFC is still intent on making that DC/Brock fight.
2. This is a negotiating tactic to get DC to the table for a third fight with Jon, and Smith is just the pawn (the UFC has been known to use this tactic in the past).
Other issues for concern:
1. Is...

So I just rejoined a larger chain gym here in town after about a year away. see a lot of the same guys. One guy that's noticible though, is a guy that used to be stacked. He was shorter at about 5'8, but very muscular, dense, and vascular. Had a stout black beard and would occasionally wear...

I'm pretty bummed out about it. I thought it was great having Smith finally come to the UFC this past year. I'm still getting used to the three man booth frankly, but Anik, Rogan and Smith was a really good team.
Any old guys like me remember Jimmy was a fighter, and he was even on a fighting...

Have seen the knockout replayed about a million times, but this is my first time watching the entire fight.
Buster Douglas royally kicked Tysons ass the entire fight. We all know Tyson was not at his best this night, whether it be because of partying , marriage problems, new...
